Project: 1963 Schwinn Typhoon Gas Bike (Part 1)

I picked up this 1963 Schwinn Typhoon frame for $25 from a gentleman in Wahoo. At least I think it is a Typhoon from the serial number, E342828. It's in pretty nice shape. Someone tried to repaint it and wasn't very successful. I plan to strip this frame down to the bare metal, prime, and repaint this. I would put all of the original decals on it, but I'm going to take a shot at turning this into a gas bike, so I'm not sure I will put the decals on it because they would mostly be covered by the gas tank.
